Riviera. A majestic place. It is where legends are born. Since 1926, the Riviera Country Club has been one of golf’s favorite destinations. A long list of tournaments have taken place at the famed course, among them; the 1948 US Open, the 1983 and 1995 PGA Championships, the 1998 US Senior Open, and the 2017 US Amateur. Ben Hogan (among others) has won here, and it continues to be a favorite among the Hollywood crowd, where several prominent celebrities are members of this highly private and prestigious club.
The yearly stop in the City of Angels for the PGA Tour, the Genesis Invitational (bumped up in status from last year’s “open”) featured a star-powered field including names like Rory, Brooks, Phil, and of course, the host, Tiger Woods.
